===Trey Anastasio Band=== {{Main|Trey Anastasio (band)}} Trey Anastasio Band debuted in 1998 as Eight Foot Fluorescent Tubes, as a local band in Vermont fronted by Anastasio, on April 17 of that year at the opening week of the nightclub Higher Ground, co-owned by his brother-in-law. The band debuted a number of songs heard in Anastasio's live performances today, including "First Tube", "Last Tube", and "Mozambique". [[The Sextet|The Trio]] in 1999 was an evolution of Eight Foot Fluorescent Tubes. Anastasio's first solo tour was with the trio, which included himself, [[Russ Lawton]], and [[Tony Markellis]]. Markellis was an early influence on Anastasio and seeing the bassist perform with the Unknown Blues Band was a major reason he decided to attend UVM.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jambands.com/features/2021/05/01/twenty-years-later-tony-markellis-talks-tab/|title=From the Archives: Twenty Years Later: Tony Markellis Talks TAB|date=May 1, 2021|website=Jambands.com|access-date=October 8, 2022}}</ref> The trio reunited in late 2008 (along with keyboardist Ray Packowski) for a tour of the Northeast United States. The band expanded to a [[The Sextet|sextet]] in 2000 with three horn players added to the band (Dave Grippo on alto sax, Jennifer Hartswick on trumpet and tuba, and Andy Moroz on trombone). Some of the music originally performed by the sextet was later seen on his 2002 release, ''[[Trey Anastasio (album)|Trey Anastasio]]''. A year later they evolved into [[The Octet]] which added [[Ray Paczkowski]] on keyboards and Russell Remington on tenor sax and flute; and [[The Dectet]] in 2002 through 2004 explored complex arrangements and changes of some songs included on ''Trey Anastasio'', and was an evolved version of the octet, now a ten-piece band with the addition of [[Peter Apfelbaum]] on baritone sax and percussion, and [[Cyro Baptista]] on percussion. On August 10, 2008, Trey Anastasio and Classic TAB played a set at the [[All Points West Music & Arts Festival]] at [[Liberty State Park]] in New Jersey. They opened with "Sand" and played a few other classic Anastasio/Markellis/Lawton compositions (songs that were also later recorded by Phish) including "Gotta Jibboo" and "[[Heavy Things]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://phish.net/sideshows/trey-anastasio-band/?d=2008-08-10 |title=Setlist for TAB, 8/10/08|website=Phish.net |access-date=February 27, 2012}}</ref> On the twentieth anniversary of the original Eight Foot Fluorescent Tubes show, April 17, 2018, Anastasio, Markellis and Lawton embarked on a tour featuring performances of Anastasio songs previously performed by Phish, such as "No Men In No Man's Land", "Camel Walk" and "Party Time" (written by Jon Fishman).
